* '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/ Multi Account Containers]''' is a great addon by Mozilla that let's you put the sites you browse into containers so the sites don't know what other sites you are on. You can enhance containers features with '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/switch-container-plus/ Switch Containers Plus]''' and '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/temporary-containers/ Temporary Containers]'''.

You can set up the addon so all links you click that would change the domain you're on are opened in a new temporary container tab.
